was developed to provide a consistent nationwide approach for federal, state
and local governments to work together more efficient and effectively
during disasters. He noted that NIMS ensured the City to receive Federal

City Attorney Leibold noted that the current appeal period of a Planning
Commission decision was 10 days. She noted that similarly a Nuisance
Abatement decision is subject to appeal within 10 days. She noted that the
Council expressed a desire to extend the appeal period to 15 days. She noted
that she and her staff had reviewed specific sections of the L.E.M.C. She
indicated that in order to provide for a consistent IS-day appeal period, they
were proposing that the individual sections of the LEMC be modified.

36. Biennial Review of the Conflict of Interest Code.
City Attorney Leibold commented on the item. She noted that the City had
adopted the "Model Conflict of Interest Code" which was promulgated by
the FPPC and incorporated into the California Code of Regulations. She
noted that because the City adopted the Conflict of Interest Code in that
way, it was a living code that was modified as the FPPC makes
modifications.
City Attorney Leibold noted that the second portion of the code was to
designate employees subject to the disclosure requirements. She noted that
the designated list of employees had been amended. She noted that staff s
recommendation was to approve the amendments to the designated
employee list and direct the City Clerk to file the 2006 local Biennial
Review notice with the FPPC on or before October 2006 indicating the
amendments to the list of designated employees.
Agenda Item No,_
Page 42 of 53
Page 43 - City Council Meeting Minutes - September 12, 2006
Councilmember Buckley inquired if everyone on the designated employee
list had to attend the AB1234 training.
City Attorney Leibold noted that the bylaw did not extend as deep into the
staffing structures in the list of the designated employees. She noted that
Council had encouraged all department heads and city staff to attend the
ethics training.
MOVED BY BUCKLEY, SECONDED BY HICKMAN AND CARRIED BY
A UNANIMOUS VOTE TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENTS TO THE
"DESIGNATED EMPLOYEE" LIST AS SET FORTH IN EXHIBIT B OF
THE STAFF REPORT AND DIRECT THE CITY CLERK TO FILE THE
2006 LOCAL BIENNIAL NOTICE WITH THE FAIR POLITICAL
PRACTICES COMMISSION.
37. City Council Policies.
City Attorney Leibold commented on the item. She noted that the review
started over a year ago by the subcommittee of the Council consisting of
Councilmembers Buckley and Hickman. She noted that she reviewed their
recommendations.
City Attorney Leibold noted that certain policies had been deleted and some
had been modified.
Michael O'Neal, Planning Commission, commented on an article from the
Californian regarding the budget. He commented on the withholding
stipends of Council, Planning Commissioners and City Treasury.
Mayor Pro Tern Schiffner noted that the City Attorney recommended that
Section 300-1 be deleted from the Council Policies. He noted that he was in
favor of deleting the section.
Councilmember Buckley noted that withholding stipends would not balance
the budget. He noted that stating the item as a policy of the City, would
show the residents of the City how much public officials care about
spending their tax dollars. He noted that he was in favor of keeping the item
as part of the Council Policy.
Agenda Item Noo_
Page 43 of 53
Page 44 - City Council Meeting Minutes - September 12, 2006
Councilmember Hickman suggested that public officials not get paid until
the budget was balanced. He further suggested getting reimbursed once the
budget was balanced.
MOVED BY SCHIFFNER TO ELMINATE POLICY 300-1 FROM THE
COUNCIL POLICIES.
Councilmember Kelley noted that she could not support deleting Council
Policy 300-1. She noted that Council always does their best to try and
balance the budget.
City Treasurer Weber noted that taking stipends from public officials would
not make a difference. He commented that it was staff s responsibility to
produce a balanced budget.
Councilmember Buckley stated that the Council Policy 300-1 was about the
City's dedication and appearance to the people who live in Lake Elsinore.
He noted that the stipend was a small amount. He further noted that the
policy would set a great example for other government agencies.
City Attorney Leibold noted that the City Attorney's recommendation is that
Council Policy 300-1 should be eliminated because it is duplicative of the
LEMC. She noted that the LEMC was the appropriate place to address
Council compensation. She noted that Council compensation was
established by Government Code pursuant to a schedule based on
population. She noted that based on the City's current population, Council
was eligible for an adjustment. She noted that in order to effect that
adjustment, there was discussion about directing the City Attorney to bring
back an ordinance at the next regularly scheduled meeting. She inquired if
Council wanted to incorporate the issues of Council compensation
exclusively in the LEMC such that a policy is not necessary or direct the
City Attorney to bring back the ordinance adjusting Council compensation
in accordance with the Government Code.
Councilmember Buckley commented that the potential pay was established
at the state level. He noted that it was the City Council that must set the pay,
and the adjustment was being discussed as a raise.
Mayor Magee noted that he felt that the direction to staff has been to balance
the budget, and that public safety was their number-one priority. He noted
Agenda Item Noo_
Page 44 of 53
Page 45 - City Council Meeting Minutes - September 12,2006
that there are other government entities, above the Council, that have the
ability to control the purse strings and can also legislate the Council with
additional requirements which Council would be obligated to perform on
behalf of their constituents without the benefit of increased funds. He noted
that he did not feel the policy was appropriate. He commented that he would
pledge, if he does not vote for a balanced budget, he would donate a portion
of his money to a charitable organization. He noted that there are always
those in need of funds. He noted that he could not support the policy.
THE FOREGOING MOTION SECONDED BY KELLEY.
AMENDED MOTION MADE BY SCHIFFNER, SECONDED BY KELLEY
TO INCLUDE THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY BRING BACK AN
ORDINANCE IN REGARD TO THE SALARY ADJUSTMENT.
Councilmember Hickman noted that the only pressure that the Council could
bring for a balanced budget was on management since they control all the
figures.
THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY A VOTE OF 4-1 WITH
BUCKLEY CASTING THE DISSENTING VOTE.
City Attorney Leibold referred to the staff report and suggested that Council
start with discussion on Policy No. 200-4 regarding the selection of Mayor.
Mayor Magee noted that he could not support the policy. He noted that in
order to lead the City, 3 votes are needed. He noted that if someone did not
have 3 votes to become Mayor, they would be leading in a handicapped
situation.
Councilmember Buckley confirmed that to get elected as Mayor, the
Councilmember would still need 3 votes with the policy in place. He noted
that the policy was intended to eliminate political games. He commented
that being Mayor during an election year brings votes.
Mayor Pro Tern Schiffner noted that he could support changing the Policy.
MOVED BY SCHIFFNER, SECONDED BY KELLEY TO APPROVE
POLICY 200-4 WITH THE DELETION OF LAST PARAGRAPH.
Agenda Item Noo_
Page 45 of 53
Page 46 - City Council Meeting Minutes - September 12, 2006
Councilmember Hickman requested further clarification.
City Attorney Leibold noted the Electoral Reform Committee made the
recommendation. She noted that her recollection of the Council's action,
with respect to the items, were to support the policies and to incorporate
them into the amended policy manual - but, she did not recall whether they
were formally adopted.
Councilmember Hickman requested that the City Attorney research that item
further.
City Attorney Leibold noted that she could research the item further.
THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY A VOTE OF 3-2 WITH
BUCKLEY AND HICKMAN CASTING THE DISSENTING VOTES.
City Attorney Leibold commented on Policy No. 200-5A. She noted that
there was an issue raised by Public Safety Advisory Commission. She noted
that the policy that exists and the various provisions of the LEMC provide
that the PSAC and the Planning Commission appoint their officers in
January of each year. She noted that the PSAC requested that they be able
to appoint their officers in July to coincide with the appointment of their
membership. She noted that she would have done so, but it required
modification of the code. She noted that she was looking for direction from
the Council.
MOVED BY BUCKLEY, SECONDED BY KELLEY AND CARRIED BY A
UNANIMOUS VOTE TO APPROVE POLICY NO. 200-5A WITH
MODIFICATION TO PROVIDE THAT COMMISSION SELECTION OF
OFFICERS FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND PUBLIC SAFETY
ADVISORY COMMISSION OCCUR IN JULY TO COINCIDE WITH
COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS.
Councilmember Buckley commented on Policy No. 200-5B regarding Ad
Hoc Committee appointments. He inquired if an agenda was required.
City Attorney Leibold noted that there would need to be an agenda, but there
was not a requirement to have minutes. She noted that there had been
discussion whether or not a record needed to be retained for the meetings
and whether staff would be provided to take minutes of the meeting or if the
Agenda Item No,_
Page 46 of 53
Page 47 - City Council Meeting Minutes - September 12, 2006
committee would appoint a recording secretary. She noted that could be
decided on a case-by-case basis.
Councilmember Buckley suggested adding "Council permits to have
staffing", and in the case where staff would not be provided to add "the
Council orders the Ad-Hoc Committee to appoint a recording secretary".
City Attorney Leibold noted that not all staff members are necessarily
qualified or the appropriate personnel to take minutes. She noted there
would generally need to be an additional administrative staff member or an
internal committee recording secretary.
City Attorney Leibold confirmed that Council's discussion was that as each
Ad-Hoc Committee is appointed, or established, that the Council make clear
what level of staff support is provided and whether the staff or committee
appointed secretary would undertake the minute taking role.
MOVED BY BUCKLEY, SECONDED BY MAGEE TO APPROVE POLICY
NO. 200-5B AND ADD THE LANGUAGE "AS EACH AD HOC
COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED, OR ESTABLISHED, THAT THE
COUNCIL MAKE CLEAR WHAT LEVEL OF STAFF SUPPORT IS TO BE
PROVIDED AND WHAT MINUTE TAKING ROLE THE COMMITTEE
MEMBERS WOULD HAVE TO UNDERTAKE".
Councilmember Kelley noted that the RDA Committee was out of
compliance. She noted that the RDA Committee had done a wonderful job.
She suggested re-aligning the Committee so it was in compliance with the
policy. Councilmember Kelley requested that this item be placed on the
next agenda.
THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY A UNANIMOUS VOTE.
MOVED BY BUCKLEY, SECONDED BY HICKMAN AND CARRIED BY
A UNANIMOUS VOTE TO DELETE POLICY NO. 200-6.
Councilmember Kelley commented on Policy No. 300-12 in regard to
Community Organization Grant Policy. She noted that "the aggregate
financial assistance received by a community group or organization shall not
exceed $1,000 during any 12 month period" should be deleted.
Agenda Item Noo_

Page 48 - City Council Meeting Minutes - September 12, 2006
MOVED BY BUCKLEY TO DELETE THE LANGUAGE OF "THE
AGGREGATE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE RECEIVED BY A
COMMUNITY GROUP OR ORGANIZATION SHALL NOT EXCEED
$1,000 DURING ANY 12 MONTH PERIOD" AND TO ADD "DURING
SUCH TIME AS THE CITY HAS ACCESS TO THE ECIVIS SYSTEM,
THE CITY SHALL MAKE THE SYSTEM AVAILABLE TO LOCAL
PRIVATE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS FOR THEIR USE AT NO
CHARGE" TO POLICY NO. 300-12.
City Attorney Leibold commented on page 138. She noted that Item No.8
should come out entirely. She noted that it should have been deleted.
AMENDED MOTION MADE BY BUCKLEY, SECONDED BY HICKMAN
AND CARRIED BY A UNANIMOUS VOTE TO INCLUDE THAT ITEM
NO.8 ON PAGE NO.6 OF THE POLICY BE DELETED ENTIRELY.
Councilmember Buckley commented on Policy No. 100-2, paragraph no. 13
regarding Future Employment. He noted that "6 months" should be replaced
with "1 year". He further noted the prohibition is not intended to extend to
representation of personal interests and that a provision to that effect needed
to be added. He noted that it would not allow for any former officer to turn
around and get a job lobbying the City for a year after being a City officer or
employee.
MOVED BY BUCKLEY, SECONDED BY KELLEY AND CARRIED BY A
UNANIMOUS VOTE TO APPROVE POLICY NO. 100-2 WITH CHANGES
TO PARAGRAPH 13 TO REPLACE "6 MONTHS" TO "1 YEAR" AND TO
INCLUDE THE LANGUAGE THAT SUCH PROHIBITION IS NOT
INTENDED TO EXTEND TO REPRESENTING PERSONAL INTERESTS.
Councilmember Buckley commented on Policy No. 100-6 regarding City
Council Meeting Tapes. He suggested adding a sentence to the policy which
states "once the City Clerk's office has obtained the proper technology to
transfer minutes and tapes onto CD-Rom; that the CD-Rom' s be maintained
indefinitely."
MOVED BY BUCKLEY, SECONDED BY HICKMAN AND CARRIED BY
A UNANIMOUS VOTE TO APPROVE POLICY NO. 100-6 AND ADD THE
LANGUAGE "ONCE THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE HAS OBTAINED
THE PROPER TECHNOLOGY TO TRANSFER MINUTES AND TAPES
Agenda Item Noo_
Page 48 of 53
Page 49 - City Council Meeting Minutes - September 12, 2006
ONTO CD-ROM; THAT THE CD-ROMS BE MAINTAINED
INDEFINITEL Y".
City Attorney Leibold commented on Policy No. 100-4 regarding the
formulation of the final agenda. She noted that the policy contemplated that
the City Manager and the City Clerk coordinate the preparation of a tentative
agenda and that the tentative agenda be reviewed with the Mayor with
respect to the City Council agenda, and the RDA Chair with respect to the
Redevelopment Agency agenda. She noted that the Mayor and RDA Chair
could add or delete items with respect to their particular agenda.
City Attorney Leibold noted that the City Clerk noted an error in timing on
Item No.6 of the Policy. She noted that the Policy appropriately provides
how an agenda is determined and what items would be presented to Council
and the RDA. She noted that the policy went into detail regarding internal
procedures. She noted that Mayor Pro Tern Schiffner inquired, during the
Study Session, if some of the internal working detail could be deleted and to
leave it to the City Manager and City Clerk to meet the deadline of a
Thursday afternoon agenda completion and retain the protocol of consulting
with the Mayor and RDA Chair with respect to finalizing the agenda. She
suggested leaving the internal deadline to the discretion of the City Manager.
She noted that if Council was wishing to consider that kind of approach, she
could make a specific recommendation.
Mayor Magee noted that he was concerned that the burden would not all of a
sudden become that of the City Clerk's office. He noted that if the load and
responsibility was not going to shift on the City Clerk, he would accept the
recommendation.
City Attorney Leibold noted that the LEMC lays the responsibility of
establishing the agenda on the City Manager. She noted that the City Clerk
had the responsibility of compiling the agenda and producing it in
accordance with the Brown Act and to meet the policy of production.
City Attorney Leibold noted that the rigidity of the policy was of greater
concern because it did not allow for the flexibility or the deference to the
City Manager or City Attorney in the case of an urgent nature.
Councilmember Buckley suggested adding a paragraph which stated "at the
discretion of the City Clerk, City Manager and/or City Attorney - certain
Agenda Item No._
Page 49 of 53
Page 50 - City Council Meeting Minutes - September 12, 2006
urgency items may be processed outside the system set forth".
City Attorney Leibold suggested stating that there could be specific
timelines, but that the City Manager had the discretion to allow exceptions
when an item merits it, so long as the City Clerk can still meet the deadline.
Mayor Magee inquired how the City Clerk felt about the matter.
City Clerk Ray noted that he was okay with the matter. He noted that staff
generally tries to submit all staff reports in a timely manner to get the agenda
out by Thursday afternoon.
MOVED BY SCHIFFNER, SECONDED BY KELLEY AND CARRIED BY
A UNANIMOUS VOTE TO FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDATION OF
THE CITY ATTORNEY TO MODIFY POLICY NO. 100-4.
City Attorney Leibold commented on Policy No. 300-4 regarding seminars
and conferences. She indicated that a concept was discussed that did not
make it into the Council package. She noted that the concept was to require
a report to the Councilor respected Commission of the course and activities
that were attended when an elected or appointed official attends a seminar or
conference that was paid for in whole or in part by the City.
Councilmember Buckley felt that a report was a good idea.
Mayor Magee inquired if the report could be verbal and/or written.
City Attorney Leibold confirmed.
MOVED BY BUCKLEY, SECONDED BY HICKMAN AND CARRIED BY
A UNANIMOUS VOTE TO AMEND POLICY NO. 300-4 TO INCLUDE
THAT A VERBAL AND/OR WRITTEN REPORT FROM COUNCIL OR
RESPECTED COMMISSION ON THE COURSE AND ACTIVITIES

PUBLIC COMMENT
Connie Soto, 141 Via De La Valle, commented on the lake water. She noted that it
was her understanding that the water in the lake was controlled by EVMWD and
that the City controlled the lake bottom. She inquired if the City would allow
disruption of the lake by takeover of eminent domain to core access to its' bottom
and allow the power plant known as LEAPS.
